摘要
The design and operation of a micromechanical gyroscope based on a vibrating diaphragm loaded with an inertial mass is described. Capacitive actuation and sensing methods are employed. Preliminary results are presented which show that mechanical and electrical coupling limit current performance, which could be improved to give a noise equivalent rate of turn better than 0.14 degrees/s.
